Chapter 17
The second son of the Rong family, Rong Guang'an, was the Facao at that time, in charge of the post office in the south. He was bold and cheerful by nature.

He is Rong Yue's favorite elder, if it weren't for the second aunt who was aggressive and unreasonable, Rong Yue would have envied Rong Yuxue so much when she was a child.

Uncle Rong's official career was smooth when he was young, and he was promoted all the way. He was the most valued son of Mrs. Rong, but later stagnated for some reason. , Guangzong Yaozu.

In the flower hall, Rong Yue was bored, standing and distracted, and Rong Yuxue behind her was chattering. Fortunately, there was a model granddaughter standing dignifiedly, facing the old matriarch, the two of them hid behind and slacked off.

It is said that three women play a show, and the four women of the old lady, Yue Shi, second aunt, and third aunt put together are worth hundreds of ducks.

The second uncle, Rong Guang'an, who had just returned home, was surrounded into a group, asking about his health, his head was sweating.

The fourth younger sister, Rong Yuru, who seldom goes out, still stands alone on the side without saying a word. Rong Yuru is thin, weak and handsome, but her sense of existence is too low, and the third uncle is a concubine, and the whole three families behave in a low-key manner , Rong Yue couldn't remember the fate of this younger sister for a moment.

After the return of father Rong and third uncle Rong Guangling from the next dynasty, the family banquet officially began.

Rong Yue behaved obediently and transparently, unlike her previous life when she chased her second uncle for gifts in public, but Rong Guang'an liked a few juniors so much that she directly took out the gifts.

The elder brother is the four treasures of the study, and the young lady is the head and face jewelry. They are exquisite and elegant, each with its own merits, and a lot of thought has been put into it just by looking at it, so the juniors in Rong's mansion don't need to ask, they all like the second uncle the most.

"This is back to Jiangnan..." The cheerful second uncle began to tell what he had seen and heard, and Rong Yue also stretched her neck to listen, gifts and so on, she had been pleasantly surprised in her previous life, but instead she was interested in the Jiangnan water town thousands of miles away. I am very interested, I just wonder if I will have the opportunity to see the great rivers and mountains in this life
It's just that the old lady doesn't like to hear these things. She doesn't like her son's frequent business trips and running around.

He directly interrupted the anecdote about Uncle Rong: "An'er, I heard that your eldest brother is acquainted with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he must have a way to let you stay in Beijing... I heard that there are many mountain bandits in the barbarian land in the south. I've been terrified all day long."

This is easier said than done.

Rong Yue felt that the old lady Jun Si'er's eagerness was understandable, but she took it for granted and was too partial, only thinking about her youngest son.

Father is an upright official with few personal relationships, and at present, most of the civil servants in Daliang look down on military officials. Under such circumstances, if father took the risk to bribe the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, wouldn't it be a case for the Yushi, and the entire Rong Mansion would be implicated.

Father Rong didn't say a word, and Yue's face was not good-looking, and he didn't disobey her mother-in-law.

Fortunately, Second Uncle Rong is not an unreasonable person. Knowing the situation in the court, he hurriedly persuaded him: "Mother, it's not so easy to promote an official. Besides, I don't have any other ideas at the moment..."

The old lady still didn't give up, but Second Uncle Rong was good at coaxing people, and changed the topic with a few words, making the old lady smile.

At this moment, Rong Yue saw her second aunt Lin's eyes brighten.

I saw Lin glanced at his mother, Yue, and then at Rong Yuxue who was eating with her head down.

Sure enough, Mrs. Lin couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a strange way: "If you want me to say that the most prestigious and comfortable family is still uncle's family.

Not only did he stay in Yanjing, but he was in a high position. I heard that Chan'er and Yue'er were invited to the Queen's Hairpin Banquet.

It's a pity that our second and third bedrooms are not capable, Xue'er and Ru'er can only be envious. "

Really not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Rong Yue knew what she was up to. Just now, the old matriarch proposed to ask Rong's father to help the second uncle stay in office, but the second uncle declined politely, but the big house really didn't help, and he didn't express his opinion, which made him feel wronged.

Now that the hairpin flower banquet is proposed, and the third room is invited, if the mother refuses again, it will appear that the eldest room is unreasonable, and it is a good way to retreat.

The second uncle's face was embarrassed, but after all, he was his daughter-in-law and planned for his daughter, so he was a big man so he couldn't say much.

Yue Shi's fingernails had already sunk into the palm of his hand, dunking into the flesh, that bitch Lin Shi was really waiting here.

Seeing the old matriarch frowning, her heart skipped a beat, she still had a kind smile on her face, and said with a smile: "Second younger brother and sister, you are absurd, the master is a military officer, he is rough, not as good as those civil servants.

This banquet is supposed to be based on our Chan'er's performance in Langhuan Academy, after all, Chan'er was the first in the women's college entrance examination last time.

When we are parents, we still get the honor of our children sometimes, and Yue'er was invited because of her elder sister, after all, it's normal for the higher-ups to take a fancy to sisters..."

These words are embarrassing, and the implication is that it is not that the big house is a high-ranking official, but that the eldest daughter is fighting for her spirit. Who will make your daughter not really angry.

Lin was so choked that she couldn't speak, she could only laugh dryly, and then glared at Rong Yuxue viciously: This is an unbelievable thing.

The old matriarch knew about the hairpin banquet before, and felt that her eldest granddaughter was invited, which was a great gift. Compared with her beloved younger son's family, she really felt unbalanced.

Luckily, Mrs. Yue was clever. The past ten years of concubine and sister-in-law were not for nothing. She immediately pulled her eldest daughter out. Mrs. Lin shut up. Further investigation, directly to dinner.

The confrontation between the elders came to an end, Rong Yue looked at Rong Yuxue sympathetically, and gave her a piece of meat.

Rong Yuxue:? ? ?

Rong Yue: It's okay, eat more.

Only when you are full can you resist beating.

She suddenly understood her mother's preference for her elder sister. An excellent eldest daughter would only help her grow face, and she and Rong Yuxue were the weaknesses and failures that her mother and Lin's attacked each other.
